Panini America‘s on-ice offerings just keep on coming in its rookie season in the NHL and the latest installment is a high-end veteran that many collectors should be familiar with.

Set to arrive on Dec. 15, 2010-11 Limited will include seven cards in each $100 pack — one autograph, one memorabilia card, and one additional autograph or memorabilia card along with two base cards, one legends and one more card.

Some of the NHL’s newest rookies will be included in the product — including top pick Taylor Hall — while the set will include stars from the present and the past like Sidney Crosby and Mario Lemieux.

I actually hope this product will be nice. The sell sheet mentions some other things like puck cards and shields although they'll probably follow their pattern of making them out of 5. I'm not crazy about manufactured patches and for a $100 a box product I really wish they'd try to have a decent number of autos on card.

Anyone hear anything new about this? It is still down as next week but Panini hasn't released much info. I saw their blog has some production photos of it with other products that are coming out but that's it. I assume it's delayed but still surprised they haven't given any new information about it. The lack of any info worries me and has pretty much killed any interest I had.
